Typical top management consultancy, expect the usual - excellent project work - no respect for the individual

Associate

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

International experience across several continents. Interesting projects and (top-class) clients; some good consulting tools. A good mix of people working there, some with excellent knowledge and experience. In good competition with McKinsey and BCG.

Cons

Work-life balance doesn't exist, basically no vacations (only when there is no project), little career progress, no sabbaticals. Tough project work - work days up to 22 hours. No respect for the individual. Bad knowledge management system - really something to improve! Compensation varies greatly on location og home office - you might be in the same project (even in your home country) with somebody at your level but earning double (or half).
